I, the great swordsman, am definitely not a bootlicker

Ghost Island, Dome.

"Why are you so absent-minded? Did something happen?" Yamato frowned and put down his mace.

The green algae-headed man slowly retracted his three swords, sat on the ground, and looked up at the sky: "Kaido... asked me a question that I can't figure out."

"What's the problem?" Yamato asked curiously.

“He asked me, what do you want?”

"Huh? What's so hard to understand?" Yamato was confused: "Don't you have a dream?"

"Yes, he was once the world's number one swordsman, the strongest..."

"Once? Then why not now?" Yamato sat next to him.

"I already am!" The green-haired guy was not ashamed at all.

"Tsk! I've never seen you so narcissistic." Yamato pouted.

"It's because it has already been achieved that I don't know it." The green algae-headed man shook his head. He told the truth, but no one ever believed him.

"Since you once pursued the strongest, then now you should pursue being stronger! What's there to be entangled about?" Yamato felt incredible: "There are actually people who don't have dreams! As long as people can still think, they will dream. For example, now I am trying to defeat Kaido and drive him out of Wano Country!"

"and then?"

"And then travel around the world like Oden."

"What happens next?"

"I haven't thought about what comes next, but it will definitely happen after I finish the first two!" Yamato is very optimistic about this.

"Well, if I were to say what I want, I would just want to follow Luffy to see what Raftel has." The green algae-haired man still looked up at the sky.

"Isn't this a dream?" Yamato looked confused.

"That's what I told Kaido, but Kaido said that in that case, I should beat him up, snatch the historical text from him, and then set sail."

"Yes! Why don't you do this?" Yamato agreed with Kaido's idea.

"Because Luffy is not strong enough, he needs to fight Kaido to sharpen himself."

Yamato was confused. "I don't understand! Why do you want the Straw Hat Boy to become stronger? You think you are the best in the world. You should lead your friends to defeat all enemies."

"If that happens, Luffy won't be able to become the Pirate King."

"Um...what's the matter? Aren't you going to visit Raftel?"

The algae-haired guy suddenly realized: "Oh, just one more thing? To help Luffy become the Pirate King?"

"How can dreams be so casual!" Yamato said seriously, "Dreams! They are something you would even die for! Becoming the Pirate King should be your captain's dream, not yours! If it's for the sake of helping someone, it's better to say it's to protect someone, or some people. That's what can be called a dream!"

The green algae-headed guy suddenly had an epiphany. If he was willing to die to help Luffy become the Pirate King, he really couldn't do it.

But of course there are things that can make him fight for his life. It is the Wado Ichimonji in his hand, the Yamato in front of him, Robin, Tashigi, and Nami who are still in Wano Country, and Hancock, Kikyo, and Teacher Pei who are far away in the sky.

He was stunned. In the end, he became like Sanji. Well, that's not right! I'm not a lickspittle like Sanji. I have to make them live in harmony!

Thinking of this, he gradually smiled.

Yamato looked relieved upon seeing this and put his arm around his shoulders: "Well! Looks like you've already thought of it!"

Upon hearing this, the green-haired boy smiled and pulled Yamato into his arms, hugging him tightly.

"What are you doing? Don't let anyone see us..." Yamato struggled and looked around vigilantly.

"Thank you."

Yamato leaned close to his ear and said, "Why are you so formal? If you want to thank me, hey...thank you when we get home tonight."

The green algae-head grinned and whispered to her: "Why wait until night? Come back now."

……

The next day, dusk, Wano Country, Jiuli.

"Eh!? Zoro, you're back!" Luffy was startled when he saw Zoro from afar, and then he started to scold: "You bastard is finally back! Hurry up and deal with the two women you brought back. Nami is making my scalp hurt."

Zoro suddenly stopped in mid-air, as if considering whether to turn around, but his little trick was already seen through by Luffy: "Hey! Eraser!"

"Hey! Wait, Luffy!" The green algae head panicked and even forgot to dodge, and was caught by Luffy's outstretched arm by his feet.

"You bastard, you still want to run? Get down here!"

With a loud bang, the green algae head fell to the ground fiercely: "Sooner or later, I will chop you off!"

"Who do you want to chop? Bastard!" As a pleasant voice sounded, the green algae head changed color.

"Hey! Nami, I haven't seen you for a few days. You look much more beautiful now."

"Hehehe... Zoro must have met another beautiful woman on Onigashima. She's the kind of beauty that will make you linger on Onigashima!" Robin's intuition is terrifyingly strong.

"Hey! Robin, I've been thinking about you all the time during these few days on Ghost Island."

"Hmph! You think about her all the time. It seems you have completely forgotten me." A bespectacled beauty appeared out of nowhere.

"Hey! How could that be? You know me."

"Hey! You bastard! What does that little bitch mean by number?" Garrett has been ridiculed for this matter for the past few days and she is already furious.

The green algae-head frowned slightly: "Huh? What did you call me?"

Garrett's expression changed drastically: "It's over, I just said what's really on my mind!"

"Haha, you're really welcome." Reiju smiled slightly.

"Don't try to get away with it! Luffy is here now, so first, what should we do with these two women? Then, what's going on between you and that female marine?"

"You little girl, what gives you the right to give orders here? You're just a navigator at best." Garette didn't tolerate Nami at all.

Before Nami could retort, Dashigi began to echo, "That's right! What's my relationship with him worth telling you?"

"Heh! How come my companion is related to you, a marine, but he can't tell me? How can anyone know if you're an undercover agent sent by the navy? And you, at best, are just a trophy! Isn't that right, Zoro?"

Watching Nami's verbal battle with the two women, the green algae-headed man suddenly felt overwhelmed. Is this the end of setting a flag? Yamato is so good! Why did I come back to cause trouble?

"Ah... It's great to have Zoro back. It's time he saw the pain we've been going through these past few days." Usopp said with emotion. For the past two days, Nami has been like—Usopp! Don't you agree?

Franky and the others nodded frantically, and it was obvious that they were also feeling very uncomfortable here every day.

Ace was counting on his fingers, a worried look on his face, muttering to himself: "Yamato has too many enemies."

The guy with curly eyebrows has already crawled into the corner, he is emo.

Enel and Tool Man No. 2 were eating melon seeds on the side.

Luffy grinned widely: "Hehehe, Zoro, you decide. After spending these few days together, I have no objection to Sanji's sister and the Butter Girl!"

"Hey! Green algae-haired girl, let her go back, otherwise I will never let you go!" Sanji pointed at Reiju.

"Heh... How heartless! You actually watched my sister fail in her mission."

"Hehehe...Zoro, it's your turn to speak." Robin smiled slightly.

"Ahem!" Green Algae-head gritted his teeth, cleared his throat, and unleashed a fierce temper: "Since the Captain has no objection, then all of you stay. From now on, all of you must live in peace with me and no quarreling is allowed!"

Luffy and the others were all stunned, and they all raised their thumbs to show their admiration for the courage of the green algae-headed guy.

"What did you say!!" Nami and Tashigi said in unison.

The smile on Robin's face gradually disappeared.

Then bursts of screams echoed throughout Jiuli.

The crowd applauded and cheered, only Ace was hesitant, wondering if he should kick Yamato a few times...
